Description
My husband and I live in the picturesque coastal town of Port Fairy in Victoria.
This beautiful historic village is situated just 25 minutes from thriving Warrnambool - at the end of the world famous Great Ocean Road.
We live one block from the magnificent East Beach and have ample, comfortable accommodation for you as a guest (with your own bathroom and living space).
We have simple odd jobs as we are renovating a cottage nearby, and have a few things that need to be done around our home or in the garden.
We have a little wire haired dachshund called Minnie, and a cat called Max.
Our home is an easy walk from the pleasant village of Port Fairy with plenty of amenities.
If you don't have a vehicle it's easy to get here as there is a train from Melbourne to Warrnambool where we could collect you.
